Add auto_deploy package_check command in chatops

This change adds a way to allow users to verify whether specific merge requests are included in a particular software package version via this chatops command:

• /chatops run auto_deploy package_check --package_version=<auto_deploy_version> <MR_URL1> <MR_URL2> <MR_URLn>

The new command takes a package version number (like "17.7.202412040601") and one or more merge request URLs, then checks if those code changes made it into that specific package build (this is implemented in the release-tools in this MR).

This change includes proper error handling for missing parameters, invalid package version formats, and malformed merge request URLs. It also includes comprehensive tests to ensure the command works correctly in various scenarios, including edge cases like invalid inputs.

Testing

In order to test this locally, I updated the trigger_release method so that it will not need to create a pipeline when running the chatops command.:
